The American couple escaped the pressure and stress of wedding planning and opted for an elopement which saw them choose Italy - it was going to be a beautiful destination wedding.Why go through the stress of elaborate wedding planning when you could take the hands of the one you love and run away together, to get hitched. That's just what these two did.Eloping is becoming more and more common as many couples choose to run off to get married without telling anyone or quickly getting married at the courthouse. Whilst most people may make it seem like having a full-blown wedding is the only way to get married, eloping is the choice for the couple who just want to to get on with married without all the hassle, and this uncommon practice is not seen as taboo these days, like it once was. In fact, like Robert and Penelope, couples even choose romantic places or beautiful destinations to elope to. In the case of Robert and Penelope, they chose one of the most romantic places in the world, Ravello. Even though they're not locals, some how they did their homework and chose one of the most beautiful locations in the Amalfi coast known as Ravello.

You could say it's a glamorous place but, with an air that welcomes everyone to come be a part of the culture.
